The Lost Wolf

(Morien Morningstar)

After dealing with the curvy wolf girl, I exited my beautiful mansion while being clad in a black tuxedo suit. I guessed her arrival was due to Williams, that comical history lecturer. On the first day, we had a battle of words, he was trying to decipher if I was a Supernatural. I was sure there was a reason for him being in that school but that thought was casted away from my brain. Being here in Bitter End was just for a purpose, one essential for my survival.

Nothing much happened during the few days I attended the high school. That human girl tried to get closer, she wanted to get to know me more so I had to shun her off. She would be very safe if she had nothing to do with me, I'm sure she must have been hurt by my behavior. I had always tried my possible best to have no contact with a human, it was not because I detested them, it was only because I considered it a stress dealing with them.

The night was dark and comforted was I as I walked the streets of the town. I only came out for a stroll, I did envy the Werewolves for they were loved by the moon. Hated was I by the moon and also by the sun for I was considered a taboo. Being a Hybrid was something nature had always hated. The history about my ancestral origin was very weird, I hated even thinking about it. Being a Hybrid didn't really mean I was one of the most powerful creatures in the world. Perhaps, I might have been considered one of them if my wolf was not sealed.

I might have only had my vampiric abilities but I was still a powerful man. I missed being blessed by the moon so I've always been focusing on a finding a method to unseal my wolf. Roaming the world for some centuries, I finally found a way, a nearly impossible one. That was what led me to this ancient town, one I had once lived within. I need the sky to birth a black moon and also the blood of a Mermaid. I never once believed those creatures even existed but I still had to try. My very source relayed to me that the key to unlock the seal on my lost wolf lied within the heart of this town.

Did that mean that a Mermaid was in the town? Whatever related to the spiritual world had always been a very hard riddle. Still lost in my thoughts, I felt someone bumping into me. Withdrawing myself from the prison of my thoughts, I gazed at the person. Surprised was I when I found out who she was. It was that mundane girl I had always avoided.

Truth be told, I couldn't deny her beauty. Her curviness was enough to set the hearts of men on fire. She was the perfect definition of a cute and fully blossomed flower. A blush found it's way on her face as I gazed at her. 'Hey, Morien.' She quickly walked past me after speaking. It might have been due to the fact that I ignored her during the past few days. Unknowingly, I grabbed her arm right before she could leave the scene. Shocked was she by my action, she turned her head and put her gaze on me. 'What?'

Her reply was somewhat rude, it was like she never wanted to have anything to do with me. One part of me was very pained, I really was not aware of what was wrong with me. Why did I even think of holding her? 'Nothing, I'm a bit bored so I took a stroll. Perhaps, you could be my talking buddy. And, what brings you out in the middle of the dark night?' I replied, fluently.

She yanked my arm away before speaking. 'You want to talk to me just because you're bored. I've had enough of you, you've always been avoiding me in the school. What makes you think I will stay with you?' And so was I surprised that she yelled at me, I really wanted to laugh. There were few people in the world that could berate me.

My face expression never changed even till I arrived at the town. I've never once thought of laughing but she really wanted me to do that. I was beginning to take a liking to the mundane girl. 'I'm sorry.' It took me a lot of seconds to even mutter the words, I had only pleaded to few people and that was centuries ago. Pleading to a human was probably something I did when I was a young boy.

She was appeased as I apologized for a smile was on her face. 'I would never believe if anyone told me you could apologize. Sorry for yelling at you, my emotions were not stable. I had to leave the house to appease myself.' She spoke as she began to progress forward, leaving me with no choice but to tag along with her.

'The mind is a prisoner of the body and the body is a prisoner of the world. Do not delve too deep into some thoughts, just ignore them and you might feel okay.' I advised her but that only earned a smile, a beautiful one. She couldn't hold her laughter any longer. 'Morien, I did not really understand your words. Are you sure the meaning matches with the poem?'

'If we are all prisoners of the world, what could our thoughts possibly do? Could they help free us from the world?' She seemed enlightened as I explained. 'So, I should let the thoughts drift away? That will be very hard. It's a habit of humans to think. Anyways, was what you said about the origin of Bitter End true?'

'Partly correct, let's not talk about that and focus on something else. What about we play a cloud game?' If any of my ancient friends was present, I would be mocked. 'When did the mighty Morien ever indulge himself in the affairs of humans?' was what they would say. Very soon, time tickled as fast as it could but I really could not deny the fact that she made me really glad. I had not felt like this for many centuries, we went our different ways after few hours. I sped away, heading to my abode, with the aid of my vampiric speed. If Rebekah had seen that, she would have only seen a blur vanishing away from sight.
